AN OPEN LETTER From Toni Loch and
Paul Beideman
 | ||
As our community changes, people's needs
change, too. Many of those needs often remain unmet as
demands on charities and social service organizations continue
to mount.
The 2006 Brown County United Way campaign gives everyone in our community an opportunity to show their commitment to their neighbors. Likewise, that support builds the Brown County United Way's ability to make a positive impact on the lives of thousands of our neighbors.
From young mothers who have nowhere to live, to seniors seeking the simple joys of companionship, the Brown County United Way is funding programs that make a difference.
Youths are being helped as they search for adult role models, very young children are getting early-intervention dental care, and the Brown County United Way is on the forefront of change as teams develop our new 2-1-1 information and referral service.
Because of you, 6,381 nights in shelters were provided for homeless families or battered women. More than 14,800 free bags of groceries were distributed to needy people. Some 350 people developed skills so they can get jobs. And, 300 kids with developmental and cognitive disabilities got help. And, that's only a start.
You are the magic that can make this continue to happen.
The Brown County United Way, with 80 years of caring to its credit, is your best vehicle to achieve the community's human services support goals.
This year is another opportunity to make an impact. Give.
Thank you!
Toni Loch President & CEO Brown County United Way

Do you know where your collection sites
are?
Collections have begun for the 2006 Brown
County United Way Health & Hygiene Drive. For two years, the
community-wide effort has collected basic-needs items, from
toothpaste to diapers, for people who cannot afford them.
"This drive addresses a critical need
in our community because the products we collect can't be
purchased with food stamps," said Toni Loch, Brown County
United Way president and CEO.
Collections will run until July 14 at more
than 50 local businesses and human care agencies in Brown
County.
Pieschek Protective Services donated delivery of
collection boxes to participating companies.
United Parcel Service and ASPIRO will
donate staff and vehicles to pick up items from the collection
sites and bring them to Leicht Transfer & Storage on July
14, which has donated warehouse space for distribution to
agencies.
"For many, this drive is the only way
to get a hold of personal care products, cleaning supplies and
baby care products, all of which are necessary for maintaining
a basic level of life-quality in Brown County," said Mike
Duschene, executive director of ASPIRO. "That's why we
fully support the collection efforts of the Brown County United
Way."
Items will be available in
early August at human care agencies throughout Brown County and
through some Green Bay school programs.
The Health & Hygiene Drive began in
2004 as a Brown County United Way campaign kickoff and
collected almost 11,000 items. Last year, the drive collected
more than 22,000 items.
To find out how to donate to the Health
& Hygiene Drive or to host a collection box at your
workplace, call the Brown County United Way home office at
432-3393 or write to staff@browncountyunitedway.org.
